While most of the people are busy trying to get their asanas – postures – right, Bollywood celebrities like Hema Malini, Juhi Chawla, Shilpa Shetty and Kirron Kher are celebrating the “historical” International Yoga Day on Sunday.

A few stars, including Juhi, Shilpa and Amrita Rao, even took part in various yoga sessions and urged their fans to follow them.

Here’s what some of the celebrities tweeted:
